This weekend should be explosive for the Ultras. The Juventus Ultras have for weeks now been chanting against Mario Balotelli, an Inter player, in anticipation for their game (Juve-Inter) this weekend. Why this matters:
1. Balotelli is a Ghanian orphan adopted by an Italian couple. He has dual citizenship but claims Italian.
2. He is as ghetto as Michael Vick or any low-level NBA hoodlum.
a. mocks and taunts opposing fans.
b. dresses like a 1980s pimp.
c. his own coach says he is more interested in cars and girls than in practicing.
d. thus, he is the most visible symbol of the Americanization of soccer to the Ultras
3. Every time the fans react to his provocation he cries racism
a. thus, he is the biggest symbol of Americanization of the nation (via multiculturalism) to the Ultras.
4. The Juve Ultras have been singing "a negro cannot be an Italian"(!)
5. UEFA got involved saying this is racism and that the next time they or anyone sings this the game will be stopped and awarded to the opponent.
6. The game is this weekend (saturday at 2:30 NY time).
7. Ultras all over Italia are hoping the Juventini take a bullet against Calcio Moderno and multiculturalism and sing (and monkey grunt of course) until the game is stopped.
8. this would result in thousands of euros in fines and games being played behind closed doors for the iconic Italian soccer team.
Vedremo!
